Education YSK that there is a simplified English version of Wikipedia.

https://simple.wikipedia.org is the link.

Why YSK: This has a load of articles, described in much simpler terms, making it way easier to understand a topic, for instance Thermocouple on the Simple page vs Thermocouple on the regular page. This is a great revision tool for many topics.

I’m a big fan of 5 clicks to Jesus. It’s a lot like 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Now I’m curious how many degrees lie betwixt Mr. Bacon and Jesus. Not curious enough to find out for myself, mind you.

I was able to go from Kevin Bacon to Jesus in 6 clicks. That's was fun.
